Introduction
This Cookie Policy Statement explains how Autymate, Inc. uses cookies and other tracking technologies. It explains what these technologies are, the purposes for which they are used, and your rights to control usage of them.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small software file stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.
Cookies set by the website owner (Autymate) are referred to as "first-party" cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner (but with the owner's permission) are called "third party" cookies. These cookies are generally associated with a software vendor that provides services to Autymate. The parties that set third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the Autymate website and when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
Autymate uses first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are necessary for the operation of the Autymate website: we refer to these as "essential cookies." Other cookies enable us to track the online behavior of our Users, both individually and in aggregate. We use this information to understand better, improve, and optimize the website experience for our users.
First-Party Cookies
We utilize session cookies, which allow us to identify your browser while you are logged in uniquely and process your online transactions. Session cookies disappear from your computer when the web browser is closed or the computer is turned off. Session cookies are required for site operation. We also utilize persistent cookies to make it easier to log into and use the Service. Persistent cookies remain on computers after the web browser is closed or the computer is turned off.
How to refuse?
You can block or delete these cookies by following the instructions under the heading, "How can I control cookies?"
However, because the session cookie is strictly necessary to deliver the Autymate Service to you, you cannot refuse it and still use the Service. The persistent cookies can be disabled, but doing so may impair your use of the Service.

Other Tracking Technologies
Web Beacons/Clear Gifs
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We also use web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These tiny graphics files contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites. In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function correctly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. We may also embed clear gifs in email messages to track user responses.
We process this information to provide reporting about the Service and for improvement of the Service.
Device Identifiers
When you access the Service by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart-phones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor, and remotely store one or more "device identifiers," such as a unique device identifier ("UDID"). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Autymate. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service. Some service features may not function properly if the use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.
We process device identifiers to provide information about Service usage and improve the Service's operation.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie table above, or you can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our websites, though your access to some functionality may be restricted. As to how you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls, it may vary from browser-to-browser. It will help if you visit your browser's help menu for more information.
How often will you update this Cookie Statement?
We may update this Cookie Statement from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Therefore, please re-visit this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
